<h1>Analyzing data in a Heat Map widget</h1>
<p>A Heat Map widget is a combination of colored rectangles, each representing 
 an attribute element, that allows you to quickly grasp the current status 
 and impact of a large number of variables.</p>
<p>In the Heat Map:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>The headings along the top of the rectangles represent 
 a set of attributes. In the example below, Large Blend and Large Value 
 are two of these headings.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>The individual rectangles under each heading represent 
 a single attribute. In the example below, this attribute is Mutual Fund, 
 as shown by the individual mutual funds displayed in each rectangle beneath 
 each heading.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>The size of the rectangles represents a specific metric. 
 In the example below, the metric is Net Assets.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>The color of the rectangles represents a second specific 
 metric. In the example below, the metric is Return YTD %.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>When you hover over a rectangle, data is displayed in 
 a pop-up. In the example below, the Vanguard Small Cap Index data is displayed. 
 </p></li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: To successfully analyze 
 a Heat Map widget with large datasets, Flash Player version 9.0.124.0 
 or later must be installed on your computer. </p>
<p>You can analyze data in Flash Mode and in Interactive Mode (if the widget 
 is defined to display as a widget in Interactive Mode).</p>
<p>To analyze data in a Heat Map widget, open the Heat Map dialog box by 
 right-clicking the widget and selecting <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Interactive</B></span>. 
 The Heat Map dialog box opens. Use the dialog box:</p>
